Question 1 of 30
A financial institution is experiencing a high volume of false positives from its Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) due to legitimate transactions being flagged as malicious. The security team decides to tune the IPS policies to reduce these false positives while maintaining a strong security posture. They consider adjusting the sensitivity levels of the IPS, implementing whitelisting for known safe transactions, and modifying the signature sets used for detection. Which approach would most effectively balance the need for security with the reduction of false positives?
Adjusting the sensitivity levels of the IPS to a more appropriate threshold based on the specific traffic patterns of the institution.
Completely disabling certain signatures that are frequently causing false positives.
Implementing a blanket whitelisting policy for all transactions without further analysis.
Increasing the logging level of the IPS to capture more data for analysis without changing any detection settings.
